A/N- Oh my gosh I know im so sorry I havent updated in a while and I know this chapter is kind of short and im sorry but ive been so wrapped up in school work that I just havent had time to do anything so please forgive me! Now in response to the marlene thing I just wanna say that this is a mystery story btw. Yea I know "Woa! Marlene? in a last of us story? WOA! what a cliffhanger!" but this isnt the biggest plot twist. The marlene thing was more of a way to tell you guys what type of story this would be without me just flatout telling you. Well without further ado! here is Undead chapter 4! Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Back to school day

"Marlene?" Riley asks. I turn my head so hard and fast I get whiplash. When I finish caring for my neck I look over to this appearant Marlene and find myself gawking up at the familier figure in front of me. How could this even be possible? She never even lived in texas much less work there.

"How is this even possible?" Joel asks as if reading my mind.

"What are you guys talking about? Marlene has been here for years." Sarah says.

"Um... Do I know you people?" Marlene asks.

"I hope not" I mumble under my breath so only Riley could hear. A little chuckle comes from her and I grin a little bit.

"No you dont and we dont know you." Joel says.

"Well then why are you talkin bout' me like you do?" Marlene asked.

"You might now my mother... My name is Ellie." I say.

"Your Anna's daugher?" Marlene asks. So thats her name.

"Yea" I say

"Wow ok cool. She talks about you alot." She says. We chit chat for a while until Sarah finally points out the obvious.

"Um... arent we at a resturant?" She asks

" Oh my god im so sorry guys! what would you like to order?" She says frantically pulling out her pen and paper to wright down our order. Its about an hour later that we finish our food and start heading home. While in the car Joel starts talking to sarah about something called school. It was strange how they talked about it as if it were some kind of job. Sarah then looks at us and asks joel a question.

"Hey dad will Ellie and Riley be coming to school with me?" she asks.

"Oh well that depends" Joel says doubtedly.

"Whats school?" Riley asks

"What do you mean whats school? what kind of question is that?" Sarah says

"Um... Sarah... Baby where they come from they call it something else" Joel says. He looks at us and says "they call it an academy."

"No! I am not going back to an academy! never again!" Riley starts yelling.

" Now hold on a minute its not an academy its a school. Its only learning things and there is one physical class. did they teach you anything in that academy? like basic math and stuff?" Joel asks

"Ocasionally" I say.

"Ok well its mostly acedemics. Theres no six o' clock drills." joel says.

"That would be nice" I say to Riley who is looking very unamused. I start to give her puppy eyes for a while and she finally gives in.

"Fine I'll go to some stupid acad-"

"School" Joel interupts.

"school" Riley sighs.

A little while later we get back into the house. Once again I am greeted with a bad feeling in my gut. I had this feeling before and for some strange reason I felt like Riley had gotten this feeling to. I was so tired I just wanted to go to bed. I started making my way to my room before Joel stopped me.

"Hold up there mustang sally." Joel says "now I want you to know what to do when you get to this school okay?" Riley had now entered the conversation. Joel explained that we were suppoesed to do whatever was told to do by the teachers. We were also not allowed to curse in front of teachers for some reason. We were also not allowed to bring guns to the school. Finally he explained how we had pencils in one pocket of our backpack and notebooks in another and all that stuff. After the lecture I go straight to sleep almost forgetting to cuddle up next to Riley. Who am I kidding? I would never forget to cuddle with Riley!

"Y'now your like a big cuddley bear" I say putting emphises on the bear.

"I know" Riley says. I drift off into a deep sleep only to wake up to the most annoying sound i've ever heard in my life.

EH

EH

EH

"What the hell is that?!" I yell. Riley bolts awake and is just as confused as I. I look to my left and see a black box with the time on it. I jump up out of bed tworads my backpack and grab my gun. I point my 9mm pistol tworads the annoying ass box and shoot it twice.

"No fucking way!" I hear joel yell. He bursts into our room and starts laughing his ass off. "Did you really just shhot the alarm clock?" Joel asks laughing uncontrollably. Time rushes by the next thirty minutes. We start frantically getting dressed and as im trying to pull my pants on I trip and fall onto Riley. We all eat and brush our teeth in lightning fast speed. We leave the house, only to have the feeling in my gut to go away, and head twoards a large campus. It was a large ring of buildings with one building in the middle. We get out of the car and Joel says his goodbyes. Joel drives off and Sarah turns to us.

"Okay head to the building in the middle thats the office. When you get your schedules head to the buildings on the right, thats where the eighth graders go. The numbers on the schedule will correspond with numbers on the doors on the buildings. Go through those doors and you'll be good, meet me at one of the tables during lunch. Gotta go bye!" Sarah says and runs off.

"You ready for this?" I ask Riley

"Nope" She says

"Oh come on! It'll be fun lets go!" I say and drag her into the office. Not without a kiss for goodluck of course!

A/N- Alright! Hope you enjoyed! Again I am sorry for the delay but I'm having break in a couple of weeks so hopefully i can do a chapter a week. Aight Nerd out Peace! :D
